Willie Nelson - of whom no evil shall be spoken in my presence - once sang, "Still is still moving to me." As for I an' I, moving is still ... still. I have moved, and my emotional and physical functioning, and those of those around me, are all farblondget and yet, I am still here, and here, I am still. I am like a hurricane; I always have been: whirling dysfunctional disorder and strife surrounding a hollow 'eye' of stillness - a core that is almost mineral in its inability to be touched. Cool, high, and indifferent, I am lunar. Or, alternately, I am so utterly disturbed by everything, all the time, that I am in a constant state of low-level shock. Oddly, introspection yields no clues as to which of these competing self-conceptions is correct - if either is. Perhaps there are two of me. Tags: Stillness ; Motion ; Memoirs ; Willie Nelson |
| Xaos August 30, 2006 01:58 AM PDT are the two mutually exclusive? couldn't you be both in-shock and indifferent? i mean, it'd be weird---like beef flavored iced cream---but, you know, not IMPOSSIBLE. | ||
